APPRENTICESHIP apprentice question
will not wait much longer for hearing.
The right to earn living by honest labor
is rs fundamental as any right can well be-
But when trades are hedged about with
rules which limit the number OF apprentices,
when the lists are complete and when the
ranks of the ordinary unsKilled labor are
full, then the surplus boys are ordered OF of
the earth. There is no place for them, and
their only possible chance for existence is in
begging or crime. When the trade unions
set up their rules limiting the number of ap-
prentics to be taught their trades in any
shop, they did it for the purpose Of prevent
ing the market being overstocked with skill
ed labor, and the consequent reduction of
wages from an over supply. But the rule
has had no such effects. 1t has not lessOned
whit the number of skilled workingmen.
What it has done, and all it bas done, has
been to prevent the sons of Americans-both
native and adopted-fr0m learning their
fathers trades it has had the inevitable re
suit of forcing our ;oung men. who might
be earning from Sl5 to $50 per week as skill
ed artisans, to accept salaries OF from -, or
$40 as clerks or statesmen ar bookkeepers,
or, worse than than that. TO compel them to
live hand.to-mouth sort of life, doing any
thing or nothing, as their lack of training to
any sort of work rendered imperative. Our
workshops have not fewer mechanics in
them than if there had never been rule
against apprentices. There was the demand
for skilled workmen, and there being not q
sufficient supply here, our employers readi-
ly got it from abroad. They are containly
getting skilled workmen from over the sea,
who come and take the places that the sons
of our workingmen should be permitted to
take, should, indeed, be welcomed 10. That
our streets are so full of idle, vicious young
and middle.aged men is chiefly due to The
extinction of the apprentices in our work

The story in detail of the abduction" OF
Countess Campos in Paris, Of which brief
accounts have been published, discloses 8
remarkable series OF plots and counter-plots,
